be very clear. not one republican should vote for this deal. it is a bad deal. i thought the last plan wasn t good enough. i had no idea. i had no idea that we would see a plan as ephemeral as this plan. anyone who s spent any time on capitol hill will tell you those hard liners were probably never going to vote for any compromise. by necessity, it would not be what they wanted, which was major spending cuts to social programs but here is where it gets tricky. as part of the deal to get the gavel, mccarthy put a number of those hard liners on the rules committee in the house. and now two of them, chip roy and ralph norman, are openly trying to sink deal. will they, even though they re trying to sink it, still allow it to go to the floor for a vote? that that is an open question. we re going to ask garrett haake about it in a moment. there s also the question of whether enough house dems will sign on. the conventional wisdom is yes. that there s no way democrats will all
the democrats are desperate to turn the tide and win over last minute voters. but president biden just screwed up big time with another out of touch remark. no more drilling. there is no more drilling! i haven t formed any new drilling. that was before i was president. we re trying to work on that. get that done. jeanine: that comes just two days after the president says he wants to shut down every coal plant in america. the white house still trying to spin that one away. but the democrats are not done with foolish comments. their solution to americans struggling with 40-year high inflation is to eat chef boyarde. what do you plan to do to help solve our inflation problem? yeah, i grew up in a family where if the gas price went up, the food budget went down. so by this time of week, we d be eating chef boyarde if that budget wasn t going to change. that s what families have to do. jeanine: and with comments like that, it s no wonder democrats strategists are making
committee. what s your sense of whether this will make it out? my sense is that it will eventually, but this could be a long night for rules committee members. you mentioned two of the hard line republicans on that committee who were put on as part of the deal to make mccarthy the speaker. the third is thomas massey of kentucky who s kind of the mystery vote right now. he has tried to keep his cards relatively close to the vest about how he would vote on moving this deal out of rules and to the floor. when asked about it today, he told me he wants to consult with his wife about it first then he ll be tweeting later. if republicans want to move this with just republican votes, we re not clear how democrats are going to vote on this in the rules committee although jeffries said he doesn t think there will be a problem in the rules committee. massey is the man to watch. i ve got an alert set for his twitter account and we ll see where he comes down. but rules is going to observe the hea
mom and which one is dad. last, he talked about how the independent have power. and they really do. if you think about it, who always ends up with the most power? joe manchin or rand paul? if you know that all the republicans are going to vote republican and all the democrats are going to vote democrat, they actually don t have any power. you being the mystery vote gives you everything. the swing voter. jesse: you can swing. greg: that makes you jesse: i m not going to say who the mom and dad is there. greg: sometimes it s both. don t be so narrow minded, jesse. anyway. jessica: do you want to continue? what do you think the future of twitter looks like? i feel like right now, we have no idea actually. jesse: looks good to me. i haven t noticed a change except i had more followers which i m grateful for. biden is grateful for twitter. it s the only reason that he got elected besides covid. if he did, he would give jack
hanging it on leadership in the house. aren t they the only ones really who did like this bill? brett: well, the president said he liked it the vice president said he liked it the white house said they liked it. they said it was the bill, the chance that republicans. they don t get a vote. they needed to bring, and paul ryan told the president i have one i can bring to you that you can go sell and he didn t have it. brett: sure, he did not have the votes. and he said that the president tried mightedly to try to get many members to come over to the yes side to make nos into yes. remember, he was in the oval office with members of the freedom caucus and the republican study conference where he said all these people here were all nos and now they are yeses. so he was invested in getting to yes, the president was. remember this is a presidential leadership issue when you lay out your agenda, yes, it was the house of representatives and paul ryan who had the strategy of doing is it th
